An enthusiastic Trustee Board of, initially, four members, will comprise professionals from different disciplines including legal, financial, management and marketing. Members of the board will help provide funds and training for new employees and volunteers.

We are recruiting for a volunteer to take charge of our website, which was developed fairly early on in our lifetime, but now needs a revamp in line with how our organisation has evolved and developed. The start point would be having a discussion with each of our relevant parts to determine their own system requirements. The next action would be to assess whether our existing Wordpress site is sufficient for the job, and then it would mean either converting to another platform, or enhancing our existing one. There are no fixed or rigid timescales associated with this project. We anticipate that most of the investigation, analysis, design and implementation can be delivered remotely, however we would be eager to meet up, to ensure that we have the opportunity to really be clear about who we are and what we want to project. Should this require travel, we would be happy to cover mileage expenses.
